Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today, I made a statement about the amount of money a person on 100 percent disability gets in the case of an accident from the Workers' Compensation Board. There seems to be little knowledge by many people out there of the fact that because we set the YMIR at $52,000, the impression is that the person may get $52,000. I do not think that is the case. Can the Minister instruct the Workers' Compensation Board to provide a better explanation or a publicity program to let both workers and employers know what the actual amount will be that a worker may receive in the event of an accident? Thank you.
